MY FATHERS HOUSE - JOSEPH OCONNOR KARTONIERT (TB)

**AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4** When the Nazis take Rome  thousands go into hiding. One priest will
risk everything to save them. September 1943: German forces occupy Rome. SS officer Paul
Hauptmann rules with terror. An Irish priest  Hugh O'Flaherty  dedicates himself to helping
those escaping from the Nazis. His home is Vatican City  a neutral  independent country within
Rome where the occupiers hold no sway. He gathers a team to set up an Escape Line. But
Hauptmann's net begins closing in and the need for a terrifyingly audacious mission grows
critical. By Christmas  it's too late to turn back. Based on a true story  My Father's House is
a powerful thriller from a master of historical fiction. It is an unforgettable novel of love 
sacrifice and what it means to be human in the most extreme circumstances. 'A spectacular 
thrilling novel...suspense crackles...celebrates triumphant against-the-odds camaraderie'
Sunday Times 'A masterwork... so urgent  so incredibly alive... A searing and beautiful example
of storytelling's infinite importance' Donal Ryan'Impressive and pleasurable...the diverse
ventriloquism of O'Connor's novel evokes a city in peril with wonderful vitality' Financial
Times
